Vegan Spiced Apple Tart
Makes 12 slices
Ingredients
200 g Macadamias
150 g Walnuts
0 Pinch of salt
2 tablespoon Natvia
1.5 tablespoon coconut oil
4 Green Apples
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
0 Pinch of salt
90 g Pecans
80 g Walnuts
0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
0 Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon Natvia
Method
- Preheat oven to 170°C & prepare a springform baking tray or similar tray.
- Add the macadamias, walnuts and a pinch of salt to a food processor or blender.
- Measure out 2 tbsp of Natvia and also add to the processor or blender. Start to blend together the ingredients until it has mixed together evenly.
- Once the mixture has become like crumbs, place in a mixing bowl. Add 1 & 1/2 tbsp coconut oil whilst stirring (melted coconut oil is recommended).
- Once the mixture has been stirred and combined with the coconut oil, evenly spread into a lined springform pan.
- Flatten out the mixture into the springform pan and bake for 15 minutes at 170°C.
- Whilst the crust is baking, peel & dice at least 2 of the green apple.
- Add the diced apple cubes into a saucepan, along with 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Add a small amount of water (approx 1/4 cup) and stir together.
- Add this wet apple mixture to a medium-low heat whilst stirring. Once bubbling and simmering, place a lid on the top of the saucepan and leave heating until the mixture starts to stew and soften.
- Once the lid has been placed on the saucepan, thinly slice another apple (or two, depending on your green apple enthusiasm) into disc shapes, and set aside.
- In a new bowl, add 90g pecans, 80g walnuts, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, pinch of salt, and 1 tbsp Natvia.
- Use your hands or utensils to thoroughly combine the dry ingredients, and set aside.
- Remove the stewing apples from the heat, and if you like add just a squeeze of lemon to avoid further browning (and to add a slight zest!).
- Remove the crust from the oven if you already have not done so.
- Lay down the disc shaped apple slices on top of the crust evenly, thus making an apple layer.
- On top of the apple layer, add stewed apple filling and spread around evenly.
- Add the nutty topping mixture on top of that and also spread it around evenly to cover the apples.
- Lay a layer of baking paper down on the top of the dessert, and place another baking tray on the top of the baking paper to flatten down the contents.
- Place the flat content in the fridge to chill for 2 hours, then take it out, slice and enjoy!
